All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
The Passion
The garden is beautiful… An area swarmed with such magnificence, left with a whirlpool of nature, and in the center of such a sweet-smelling area, fresh and brilliant, is the Chalice Well. To have walked alongside it, and to have walked through the gardens beyond that was like being Alice after she had fallen through the hole in the tree and come out into a world of pure imagination. The stream coming from the grandly designed oval-shaped pond shimmered in the afternoon sun; the dazzling rays of light left the water a hue of gold. The pond had been designed so that the larger one that sat up above trickled down gently into the smaller pond, flowing its life into the other before rinsing and repeating.

Unconditional
"She made some drawings for you thinking you are coming to see her," read a message from my aunt at 4:11 PM on 29th August 2021. Over the last few days, I had witnessed disregard and insensitivity. While claiming to care, the neglect was evident. While dependability was mentioned, the support was absent. A single endearing action made disappointments weighing me down disappear as my body was overcome with lightness. Thoughts such as "So she did not forget about me?" "How do I establish comfort and trust after a long absence?" and "I have not met her in 17 months, and she still made drawings for me?" crossed my mind. Making my way through a maze of people, I finally met my aunt, uncle, and two-year-old Noor at 'Wagamama' on 3rd Avenue.

For a Patient Man
“Can the purpose of a relationship be to trigger our wounds? In a way, yes, because that is how healing happens; darkness must be exposed before it can be transformed. The purpose of an intimate relationship is not that it be a place where we can hide from our weaknesses, but rather where we can safely let them go...” ~Marianne Williamson

The Hardest Thing We Have to Deal With: Relationships
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?- George Eliot Relationships are some of the hardest things, if not the most challenging thing we have to deal with in our lives. Most people struggle with how they relate with others; it can be a friendship, a partnership, a sexual partner, or a romantic relationship. It's always hard to connect with others. It starts with the fact that it's hard to relate with oneself. Most of us do not recognize that we also have a relationship with ourselves. There are many topics related to relationships, but one that is hard to reconcile is the topic of fidelity. What is fidelity? Is being loyal a requisite for having a good relationship?

Letter 10/19/21
10/19/21 Dear Unnamed, I think you are the love of my life. I have known I love you for some time now, but we got drunk a few nights ago and it hit me that you might be everything I have been wanting my entire life. And maybe you think I am crazy. I am only 20, after all. I am young and naive. I would like to think that acknowledging the fact one is naive negates their naivety, but I don’t think that’s actually true. It only makes you more self aware. So, I am young and dumb and think I have my life figured out in the love aspect anyways all because a boy who looks like my daydreams showed up. I know how ridiculous this all sounds, trust me, I know. But how I feel is how I feel, and how I feel is madly in love with someone in a way that has broken me before. This scares me. I have loved with every proton, electron, or neutron, whichever there is the most of, before. And it nearly killed me to lose that love. You are even more fatal, though, and here is why:
